"Quotes" that were said during build season

[nikdude]

Gosh do I have a long list of them.
A mixture of both the teams I have participated in. There was a lot of stupid remarks made to keep the mood happy and joy full, some things were plain out stupid but that's why we loved eachother

"No Nik, using the hack saw won't solve our issues."
"No Nik hitting it with a hammer doesn't solve our issues."
"No Nik, we can't make it self destruct if we lose."

Mentor: Clean up time!
Nik: See ya!'
Everyone: GET BACK HERE!

"It's not tightening! How do I fix it!...."
"Turn it the other way.."

"We can put solar panels on our robot to make it a green robot."
-_- "We are in doors...."

*Fellow student bugs another working student during the end of our build season, last night, with questions that are unbearable.*
*The working student looks at the other sighing*
"Look I need a metric crescent wrench..."
*The student looks for 30 minutes to find that said wrench, working student, wins*

"Nooo, that's not a good idea to put one motor on the drive train..."

"If we cut holes in the bag n' tag bag, where the wheels are, is that allowed? we need to test it" -_-

"Chainnnnnnz" (inside joke)

"You were cut! Wipe the blood on the robot, you'll bless it and give it good luck!"

"It moves!!...nevermind."

Me: I need to know how a lift works.
Fellow member: With motors and chains.
Me: well thanks for that, that almost answered 1/16th of my question.

"Let Nik and Tj use their truck to take the robot to competition."
Everyone: NOOOO!
*Happened anyways*

*Walking through homedepot*
Mentor: We need wire caps
*Nik picks up a sledge hammer*
Mentor: No Nik..

B: I need my welding mask!
*G comes over and covers B's eyes*
B: Perfect

Nik: In theory this shoul-
Fellow Student: To you everything's a theory.
Nik: Mhmmmm

"Why is the UPS beeping?"
"I don't know; it must be busted."
"Hope we don't have a power outage."

<later>

"Now it's beeping much louder and more frequently."
"That thing probably hasn't worked in years."
"I'll order a new one."

<ten seconds later, computer shuts down>

"Hey look, the UPS wasn't plugged in."
"Aww...it was trying as hard as it could to warn us, and we just assumed it was broken and didn't listen, when in reality it was just faithfully doing its job."

mentor to head programmer after we made a third of the build room the "programming empire" full on computers:

"now if that robot doesnt work for just ONE match at competition, this thing is gone. I dont care why it doesnt work, but you should be able to make it work."

later to us build kids

"make sure the robot doesnt work on match one of practice day..."

So........everyday! lol

there is no way to be on the build team and not crack those jokes! when you don't, you know you are either a) behind b)so tired you shouldnt be oporating the machinary or c) someone annoying said it....

anyways, even me, a girl, cracks them it makes the build day... more... interesting

"the robot will be ready for driver practice within the hour"

"we're close" (said by software...)

[plnyyanks]

Building stuff is not important. Controls is the essence of robotics

Quote of my life...

[LovablePsycho]

Yes, our team did it last year. Fortunately, we were in the top 8.

Things that happen on a daily basis in robotics
"Its the programmers fault nuf said"

"Its supposed to be that way"

" if we add up all my mistakes and compare them to yours ill find that you will be silent with the criticism."

verybody other then me:"Robert Put your shoes on!"

" all you need is some sand paper a drill and a metal pole and you got your self a wicked hand warmer"

The last post was made on 10/14... Resurrection time!

Related to the 11/11/11 shenanigans today.

"10/10/10 should have been binary day, but no one ever celebrated it."
"I wonder what that is in base ten. Oh god. 101010 in binary converted to base 10 is 42."

Mind = Blown.

I swore 42 day was celebrated last year by many people.

Certainly not by anyone on our team.

Yes, they did to a degree; that was the day Ubuntu 10.10.10 was released, and it was chosen for that reason.

Mentor: " You will not be spending Family Day with your family"
Me: "You'll be spending it with your robotic's family"
* Family Day is a holiday in Ontario that lands on the last day of build season

New student 1: "So what would we do if we are blocked in this position"?

New student 2: "I don't know....I think we may have a weakness people can use against us"!

Me: "Or, you know, we could just drive backwards".

New student 1: "WAIT! We can do that!?"

New student 2: "We must tell the world about this!"


Funniest day if my life.
